Air conditioning, fans, and anything related to keeping it cool, such as insulation. This would include any posts generally discussing how to keep it cool, such as which types of blocks are better insulators.... ideal wall thickness for keeping an A/C house cool, etc.

rivetcatcher,I take it you are referring to this type of air conditioner (see photos). It can be mounted against a wall or suspended from the ceiling. Note suspended. They use steel straps to attach it to the concrete slab, unless it is mounted on the floor and the straps brace it to the wall. There is no problem with maintenance as the bottom/front portion unscrews allowing access to everything. It might be me but they don't seem to work as well as the new wall mounted units.

rivetcatcher,The type unclezillion showed is for central air type units....one large compressor feeding a number of outlets. They can be accessed through the filter, but you need a huge gap between the ceiling and the floor above.

I want central air. I am planning on this being my dream family home so I want it perfect. I wont be compromising when it comes to quality and aesthetics. Thats not to say I will be paying stupid money for the sake of it though
